Hi everyone! I hope you had a good week.
Papercrafter's Corner has a fun inspiration piece for this week's challenge.
I knew I had a balloon stencil somewhere that I thought would be fun to use with watercolors.
I used Artist Loft watercolors, watercolor paper, and a Unity stamp from the Jan 11 KOM.
Next up is a Mixed Media Monthly Challenge canvas...
I am having so much fun finding things 'around the house' for this challenge. I used a toy hairbrush for the dots, hearts punched from an old gift card, some leftover screening for the 'ribbon, and then I broke up a very old cd for the spikes around the Prima flowers.
The stencil is a 6x6 from DCWV and the stamp is Unity. I wanted to make the word 'happy' bigger so I found a second stamp to finish the sentiment. All the paint is from Plaid.
I'm also entering this for Eileen Hull's Red, White and Beautiful challenge.
Have a GREAT week!!
Very cute! Love the balloons :)

I love how you took so many features from the Magazine Cover at PCC for your balloon card; especially adding the black and white feature. Love it! I love your mixed media board too. Those flowers are awesome and I spotted the old CD immediately. It is so much fun to find items around the house to play with.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece of art, love all the layers of interest and your gorgeous flowers. The dimension is fabulous and I love how you added the dots with a paintbrush, lovely touch as are those tiny red hearts. Thanks so much for joining in the Eileen Hull Art With Heart Challenge. Tracy x
